In this post I am going to give you some tips and tricks getting your own great shots on your phone. There are tips, tricks and techniques. Best of all, if you're a parent, there are a few tips to help you get great photos of your children. This is basically a sneak peek to my photography classes I did at the library and the Art Gallery. Below, I have bits and pieces of what I went over during the classes.

Also, if you would like your children to learn about photography,
I teach a few class with photography standards mixed in. These classes are though the New London Parks and Recreation!

Apps I recommend:

VSCO Cam

Instagram

Adobe Photoshop Express

Composition Rules:

Rule of Thirds: You should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect

Leading Lines Technique: You naturally look along lines of a photo, therefore the eyes of the viewer will adventure along the line. For an example: Use a bridge or a road to lead up to the subject

Tips:

Use your flash wisely

Try to keep your camera on continuous shooting mode

Tricks for photographing kiddos:

Take some photos where you don’t make them smile: If you make them smile, they sometimes have a cheesy or weird smile

Take advantage of the little moments: If they laugh, get a photo of it
